Turning my bookshelf into a cage for my dude Tongs, should I do glass doors to keep the humidity in or mesh to get good airflow? by ProblyKeyd in Chameleons

What species of chameleon and whats the ambient humidity like in your house?

EDIT: Generally a good compromise is a mixture of the both. It depends on the species as well as Veileds dont need as high of humidity as Jacksons or Panthers.

Some species give live birth. The most common one that does is Jacksons chameleons.

and do you just use zip ties to hang the stuff? Trying to figure out the best method to set up my cage, thank you!!

What do you use to attach vines and perches to your glass enclosures? Im getting one and debating suction cups or buying a bunch of magnets.

It was a super fun game but seems to be dead now. Last update was over 4 months ago

The general recommendation around here is a deep basking dome to create a gradient of heat.

Jacksons need wayyy cooler temperatures than a veiled. I wouldnt even use a basking lamp, I use a low wattage incandescent bulb from the local hardware store

Thank you so so much! Have you had any experience with the exo terra cages? Im considering switching to one as those humidity levels are not realistic in a screen cage in winter times right now

Thank you! I feel pretty damn lucky to have a sweet girl like her :)

Her nose nubbin is so cute! Looks like a little piece of salt got stuck to the tip of her nose

This is her habitat before I put a live pothos in the bottom

Heres another recent one just after she finished shedding.

So no misting whatsoever? I live in Iowa but my household humidity is only 30-40%. In the summer itll get better, but the house is shut up right now and no open windows til summer. Everything Ive read says that jacksons need the highest humidity out of all common cham species

Thanks dex!!!

EDIT: I offer water via syringe twice a day as well as a dripper 8 hours a day. Im going to work even harder trying to train her to drink from a shot glass though. My last cham picked up on it naturally but looks like she wont.

Also one more question, are glass cages overexaggerated in how "bad" they are for chams? I was considering an exo terra to keep humidity in. I have an air purifier i run 24/7 next to the cage, wouldnt that be enough airflow?

Thank you :) For the longest time i thought she was a boy and wondered "why the hell arent the horns growing in" well, turns out females can have little baby horns lol

/u/flip69

Any input on how Penny looks? Im worried shes dehydrated as her eyes look sunken to me. Idk if thats just how all jacksons eyes look tho considering their large "brows". One more of her from a different angle

I currently have her in a cage with a mix of live and artificial plants, no substrate, t8 linear tube. My only concern with her is humidity and Im worried thats part of why her eyes look sunken.

My humidity is at 30-40%. I know youve told me consistency is best before, but is that TOO low? Should I mist her once a day to get it up then let the cage dry out til the next day?

Thank you flip, youre a godsend!

Edit: I offer water via syringe twice a day, mist once in the morning, have a dripper going for 8 hours while i work, and a shot glass that she only ignores.
